6/10 Okay
"Great location, helpful friendly staff and the room was clean. However the room was very hot and the staff told me if I put the fan on it would blow hot air! There was a very tiny window I could open but it wasn’t enough and I had very little sleep the 2 nights I stayed. No kettle in the room and when I asked to borrow a hairdryer from the reception I was told I had a 2 hour window which made no sense to me as I was having a shower before bedtime. Thankfully I had my son with me to return it to the reception as I was in pjs!"

This budget-friendly trip allows you to explore various attractions, including museums, art galleries, and live music venues, as well as enjoy scenic walks along the river. With friendly locals and plenty of shopping options, your visit will be great value for money while immersing yourself in Ottawa's vibrant culture.
  2.

By enabling email alerts or push notifications, you could stay updated on flash sales and special last-minute promotions, helping you secure affordable luxury options. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool within the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you're well-informed on price drops or availability. This way, you could be the first to seize great deals for your last-minute getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate due to factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates might help you save on your stay in an Ottawa hotel. For those seeking something a bit different, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised experience and may offer better value.
